Three years ago today is when Mary Elizabeth was SUPPOSE to come into this world. I remember this day three years ago like it was yesterday. Actually I even remember sitting in the doctor's office getting my first ultrasound and them telling us he/she would arrive on June 5th. Back when I was pregnant with ME I was still teaching at the time. Of course the school year was coming to an end and dealing with middle school children 9 months pregnant was more than I could handle. I took the last week and a half off of school to take it easy.
Although when I say easy, humm I don't know that I can ever just NOT do anything. Buttercup and I walked, and walked, and walked, and walked some more. I washed all ME's clothes, folded them, did final touches to her room, and made sure we had everything we needed. I remember just standing in her room and just looking around and wondering what are we missing and how much we couldn't wait for her to come. Being a new mom, I thought for sure she would come early, well boy was I wrong.
On June 5th, I remember waking up just knowing that she was going to come. My friends and family kept calling and checking on me, and sadly I didn't have any updates. Ben got up and went to work like normal and again Butter and I headed out into the neighborhood trying everything to get ME to come. I tried all the old tails of what to do in order to make the baby come faster. I drove over speed bumps, went out to the lake on the boat, ate spicy food, and walked and walked some more. The stubborn child just did not want to come.
The day came and went. I was getting more and more uncomfortable and I just know I was driving Ben crazy. I called the doctor over and over trying to get him to get this baby out of me. Doctor's response, "patience", he had not learned anything from having me as a patient for 9 months.
Stay tuned to see when my stubborn child decided she would make her appearance.
